Paint
Me in your own way
Colour my eyes
See what feelings I hide
No-one knows why
No one can forgive
Second thought
Why do I care?
I'll hide from subtleties while
I try to face my kind
And you call this feeling
It's not enough
Come again another day
Now that my world feels at least
I'll follow you home
Wake me with a bottle 'cross the head
I'll sleep 'til it's over and I'm sober again
Safe
Well I don't feel so safe here
Imagine that everything's affected by a cause
In this game you call luck
(There's nowhere to go)
Well I don't feel so lucky, no
(Lie to yourself)
And just when I think I've worked it out
These pieces move and I'm back to the start
Wake me with a bottle 'cross the head
I'll sleep 'til it's over and I'm sober again
Hey
It's nothing that you'd understand
I promised you maybe
Always
Do you think it matters?
(Here I will stand)
Do you think at all?
(Here I will fall)
Do we complicate it?
(Organized recovery)
Do we know it all?
(I'll always go)
I don't want to
(Here I will stand)
I just have to
(Here I will fall)
I don't need it
(Organized recovery)
I just want it
(I'll always go)
And lay this troubled sinner
With a gun in your hand
Now you live for no-one
Knowing what you held in your arm
Wasted promise
Set in stone and blood
Hold your promise
Save your cheap remarks, just leave me here alone
Me in your own way
Colour my eyes
See what feelings I hide
No-one knows why
No one can forgive
Second thought
Why do I care?
I'll hide from subtleties while
I try to face my kind
And you call this feeling
It's not enough
Come again another day
Now that my world feels at least
I'll follow you home
Wake me with a bottle 'cross the head
I'll sleep 'til it's over and I'm sober again
Safe
Well I don't feel so safe here
Imagine that everything's affected by a cause
In this game you call luck
(There's nowhere to go)
Well I don't feel so lucky, no
(Lie to yourself)
And just when I think I've worked it out
These pieces move and I'm back to the start
Wake me with a bottle 'cross the head
I'll sleep 'til it's over and I'm sober again
Hey
It's nothing that you'd understand
I promised you maybe
Always
Do you think it matters?
(Here I will stand)
Do you think at all?
(Here I will fall)

(I'll always go)
I don't want to
(Here I will stand)
I just have to
(Here I will fall)
I don't need it
(Organized recovery)
I just want it
(I'll always go)
And lay this troubled sinner
With a gun in your hand
Now you live for no-one
Knowing what you held in your arm
Wasted promise
Set in stone and blood
Hold your promise
Save your cheap remarks, just leave me here alone

I think this song is about someone entering a depression either due to life stress in general, how messed up the world has become around them or chronic illness / pain and his depression has made him feel isolated from everyone else around him. He becomes so aware of his alienation that he can't seem to find a way out. An umbra is a shade or shadow, and this person feels like hey have a big dark cloud hanging over them they can't get out from under. (Wake me with a bottle 'cross the head I'll sleep 'til it's over and I'm sober again) this is the person begging for someone to help them out from under the umbra they are stuck beneath. All they know is depression and suffering and all they can seek now is a map or a plan of action to release them from their personal hell.
